title: [The relationship of structure in vivo of low tension glaucoma and myopia].
abstract: The structure in vivo and incidence of myopia on thirty patients with low tension glaucoma were studied in this paper. Results showed that the incidence of high myopia of patients with low tension glaucoma was higher than normal. All of the mean values of the thickness of lens, the length of vitreous and axis, and the area of optic disc were larger than normal too. These indicate that patients with low tension glaucoma may often be associated with high myopia, and their structure of eye in vivo differs from normal. These may be related to pathogenesis of disease with low tension glaucoma. The relationship of myopia and structure of optic disc with glaucoma were briefly summarized.
